So does photoshop.<br /><br />I use photoshop to push pixels around (destructive edits), stretching, cloning, rectifying images and I use Lightroom for everything else.Joe Lipkahttp://www.joelipkaphoto.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27557058.post-49021481768490134932011-02-04T07:50:52.477-07:002011-02-04T07:50:52.477-07:00Match raises a good point, in that workflow has al...Match raises a good point, in that workflow has always involved multiple processings of an image - either variants for artistic reasons (eg colour versus b&w) or export-sizes (tiny thumbnail, larger thumbnail, web-sized 800x600, flickr-sized 1600x1200, archive as-large-as-possible). What we get with these raw-convertor-cum-organizer tools is a way of working with all these things in mind, instead of having to juggle File/Save-As, various sizes, actions and filenames in Photoshop. I'll use photoshop when I have a need for a crude-but-quick panorama stitch or a simple HDR conversion, but the remaining 99% of my processing can be done easily with Bridge, ACR+DxO for me.Timhttp://www.shinyphoto.co.uk/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27557058.post-77610387247225805842011-02-04T06:47:33.821-07:002011-02-04T06:47:33.821-07:00George, If your like me you will find that Lightro...George, If your like me you will find that Lightroom will fulfill about 90% of your image editing needs. When the local editing tools get better, it will be even closer to replacing photoshop. It is an excellent tool with a lot of depth, but the local editing tools and lack of masking are the weak points currently IMHO. It's an excellent image organization tool, and I use it extensively for selecting and arranging photographs in preparation for my self-published books and other projects. But the final step is to output to Photoshop for final editing, soft proofing, color space conversion and sharpening.soboylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16674547675641611595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27557058.post-70451811166592990882011-02-03T22:23:48.380-07:002011-02-03T22:23:48.380-07:00Lightroom is an integral part of my workflow for t...Lightroom is an integral part of my workflow for two reasons:<br /><br />1) Cataloging images.<br />2) Replacement for ACR.<br /><br />Prior to Lightroom, I used ACR before bringing the image into Photoshop. Now this is done with Lightroom.<br /><br />Lightroom also also allows virtual copies to be created. This is great for creating multiple treatments of a single image. For example, monochrome, various color, etc.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10847502054759344700noreply@blogger.com
